Tao Te Ching

This English version of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching is by Curt Dornberg. The eighty-one poems are printed in four volumes, boxed, printed on Hahnemuhle Bugra, handsewn and bound, with illustrations, pastepaper decorations, and handwoven box cover, all by Curt Dornberg. Edition of 25.

The fuller the cup

      the harder to drink from it

The sharper the edge

       the harder to keep it

The more luxurious your place

       the less you sleep sound

The more you lord it over others

      the less you escape your own ruin

Rather, do your work well, then retire.

Such is Heaven’s Way.   #9
